Here are 15 - yes, 15! - defs of the word KUMPIT, only one of which came
from my dictionary. Please vote for your two favourites by public reply to
this message before the deadline, by which time those of you on the
opposite side of the pond to me should have a new president:

19:00 CET
1:00 PM EST
10:00 AM PST

Good luck - on both counts!

Hi Tim,

Nice to see the number of participants go up again!

I have decided to vote for one of the Hindu defs (though they smell like
traps), and for one def that appears to consist solely of words I do not
know:

> 4.a Hindu holy festival.

> 8.(Bot.) a distended, membranaceous pericarp.


Cheers,
Hugo
